भर्तरि पुत्रं विजानन्ति श्रुतिद्वैधं तु कर्तरि । आहुरुत्पादकं के चिदपरे क्षेत्रिणं विदुः ॥ ३२ ॥

sanskrit

They (all) say that the male issue (of a woman) belongs to the lord, but with respect to the (meaning of the term) lord the revealed texts differ; some call the begetter (of the child the lord), others declare (that it is) the owner of the soil.
